Brett Osborn edged Nathan Saxon in the closest points finish in the history of the NASCAR  iRacing.com Tour Modified Series in 2012 Season 4.  The final margin of victory was a mere two points in a season that saw the duo combine for 29 wins. Samuel Dick was 100 points behind and finished third overall, and also claimed the overall time trial championship from Osborn and Trent Hullman.

The series also saw some new faces, including Vinnie Sansone who came in fourth overall ahead of TJ Graves. Over the course of the season 276 sim-racers made a race in the series.

Some season highlights include:

As is typically the case in the NiTMS, there was great online racing all season long, each and every week, with the best modified drivers on iRacing going wheel-to-wheel on some of America’s most challenging tracks.  Speaking of challenging tracks,  the NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified series kicks off  2013 Season 1 at the “paper clip” known as Martinsville Speedway.

Hope to see you all on the track next season!! Until next time go fast and turn left!!
